Music business can be real cruel sometimes thinkingof a band like SR 71,the super rockers from Baltimorethat had a huge success with their fresh energetic modern rock/punk debut "Now you seeinside"(2000) and two years later delivered the mighty"Tomorrow" that unfortunately didn?t sell very well,ifit had something to do with the tougher direction anda new sound,I?ll leave to others to get into but theirrecord label RCA weren?t too impressed by that and inthese times....you can?t afford to go through poorsales with one album.Back in the 70?s and 80?s,many of our favorite bands could survive a downperiod and then comeback to bring us a new blockbuster but today the bands don?t get a 2nd chanceand it sucks,the record industry is so fxxking disturbed and thank god there are independent labelsdoing their best to keep the good music alive wherequality means more than quantity.Mitch Allan andthe guys of SR 71 had their 15 minutes of fame andnow have to struggle to show their fans that they?restill alive and kicking,with this new EP titled "AxlRose"(where did you go?)SR 71 has gone back to theiroriginal sound on the debut with a more punkishapproach and for all who didn?t appreciate their 2ndalbum that much,you should be happy with these 3 newsongs that all 3 sounds like Radiospinners to me.

"All American" can be the song that takes this bandback to the major label level because I go humming onthe melody directly after the first listen and theother one called "Here we go again" could be an outtake from "Now you see inside",good job dudes!

But it?s all about the title track "Axl Rose" here andit?s rocking like hell,pure high classy punkishmodern rock that deserves not only a 2nd chance,a 3rdand a 4th and a 5th as well.....c?mon you A&R menhere and there and everywhere,are you serious whenyou show your lack of interest in this brilliant band?!Go to their site and get your copy now before it?s sold out.
